  5. if the eyesign fanatic was winning every national, combine and federation races frequently id believe it then, i looked into the theory at one time but now through it at the door, i asked a fancier once when at an auction at blackpool, every pigeon he handled he took the eye glass out and looked at the pigeons eye, i asked him what he was looking for and he couldnt give me an answer. Watch these people at auctions its amazing how many people go through the motions just because they saw other people doing it.

  7. amino acids are very important in every athlete, especially after exercise, they are the building blocks for muscle repair, as with exercise your muscles fibres tear, and when rebuilt by the amino acid(proteins) they become bigger and stronger

    old hens

    this is just the way we have raced hens succesfully on the dark is by darkening them from the beginning of march, hours of light 9am-4pm, and are taken of the dark 3 weeks before the race you feel is most important and you want your hens to excel at. Ive found hens on the dark are always better sitting for the first race before beginning parted and put on the widowhood, but this is just my own preference, as i know many fanciers having old hens on the dark will not allow them to rear at all untill the national,
  15. By some of the lines ive seen you post up on the Tasker strain, i know for sure that south wales better watch out next season paul!
  16. dont ask me but i always was lead to believe if there was a top racing cock bird you would want a daughter of him as he would pass most of his genes down to his daughters and vice versa for a hen, but i am a complete novice on genetics!
